Michael Dweck, Gregory Kershaw.<br>2020 | 84 mins | Italy, Greece, US<br>Italian with English subtitles<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>Deep in the forests of Piedmont, Italy, a handful of men, seventy or eighty years young, hunt for the rare and expensive white Alba truffle\u2014which to date has resisted all of modern science\u2019s efforts at cultivation. They\u2019re guided by a secret culture and training passed down through generations, as well as by the noses of their cherished and expertly-trained dogs. They live a simpler, slower way of life, in harmony with their loyal animals and their picture-perfect land, seemingly straight out of a fairy tale. They\u2019re untethered to cell phone screens or the Internet, opting instead to make their food and drink by hand and prioritizing in-person connections and community. The demand for white truffles increases year after year, even as the supply decreases. As a result of climate change, deforestation, and the lack of young people taking up the mantle, the truffle hunters\u2019 secrets are more coveted than ever. However, as it soon becomes clear, these ageing men may just hold something much more valuable than even this prized delicacy: the secret to a rich and meaningful life.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The film will be introduced by local, Italian food and culture expert Valentina Todino and food, wine and travel writer Marc Millon who will discuss truffles from foraging to making the perfect dish.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><a href=\"https:\/\/exeterphoenix.org.uk\/events\/the-truffle-hunters-introduction-12a\/\" data-type=\"URL\" data-id=\"https:\/\/exeterphoenix.org.uk\/events\/the-truffle-hunters-introduction-12a\/\">Find out more<\/a><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Tue 25 Oct 2022 Dir.
